Last night. At the mall. For charity. My feet hurt.

4. I LOVE wrapping gifts. I get giddy over wrapping... so far, my best xmas
moment was watching my 11 year old daughter wrapping gifts and she pinched the creases, lined up the corners and was VERY CAREFUL with the tape.

She has some ways to go before she's as good as I am, but I was shuddering in ecstacy over her sheer potential as an obsessive compulsive, anal retentive gift wrapping addict!!!!

**I'm so proud...**

6. I should hook you up with my mother
and you two could have a wrap-off.

I remember hours and hours of cutting out petal-shaped pieces of paper, taping each one down into a flower shape, then curling the edges with a pencil to make a huge blossom/bow. Each of her gifts were pieces of art.

Nowadays, I loathe wrapping gifts. The gift bag is one of mankind's greatest innovations. :)

5. Good for you.
I used to gift wrap for charity, but all the presents were going to charity recipients. (I sat while I wrapped. My feet were fine.)
